Medical Definition of Transplant

Transplant: The grafting of a tissue from one
place to another, just as in botany a bud from one plant might be
grafted onto the stem of another. The transplanting of tissue can be
from one part of the patient to another (autologous transplantation),
as in the case of a skin graft using the patient's own skin; or from
one patient to another (allogenic transplantation), as in the case of
transplanting a donor kidney into a recipient.
